Property Overview
This two-storey home at 59 Georges Druwe Crescent in Winnipeg's Island Lakes neighbourhood presents a balanced offering for buyers seeking established comfort. Built in 2002, its key characteristic is generous, above-average living space (1,902 sq ft) that ranks well within the immediate area, the wider neighbourhood, and city-wide. It features an attached garage and a full, unrenovated basement offering potential. The lot size is typical for the street but is more modest compared to other lots in Island Lakes.
The appeal lies in its spacious interior within a mature, family-oriented community. It suits practical buyers who prioritize room to grow over a premium lot size, and who may see value in a home that offers a blank-canvas basement for future customization. A thoughtful perspective is that its "around average" assessed value for the street suggests it is priced in line with its direct peers, potentially offering a stable entry point into the neighbourhood without the premium often attached to larger properties here. It would suit a young family needing space or a buyer looking for a home where the value is in the finished square footage rather than extensive outdoor space.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes?
The living area is a standout feature. At 1,902 sq ft, it is larger than the average home on its street, in Island Lakes, and across Winnipeg, placing it in the top 13-19% for size in these comparisons.
2. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
The 4,821 sq ft lot is consistent with others on Georges Druwe Crescent. However, it is smaller than the average lot for the broader Island Lakes area. This means less yard maintenance but also less private outdoor space than some other homes in the neighbourhood.
3. What does the "unrenovated basement" imply?
The basement is finished but has not been recently updated. This should be factored into inspections and budgeting. For some, it represents immediate functional space; for others, it may be a future project to modernize.
4. How is the value positioned?
The home's assessed value is around average for its street and neighbourhood but above average city-wide. This suggests you are paying for a desirable location and the home's substantial size, rather than an oversized lot or premium upgrades.
5. Where can I find exact historical sale prices?
The listing service provides estimated sold price ranges from public data. To obtain the precise sale price history, you must request it directly from them via email, which they provide manually.
